Qi Yuanxiu · Self-cultivation

……

He saw it all...

Ji Xiu's face immediately turned from positive to negative.

He saw the scene just now from the beginning to the end...

He came here today because Uncle Zhong said that the prince would be here today. He wanted to talk to Ji Xiu about his affairs, but he didn't expect to hear voices from outside the room as soon as he entered the room. He quickly hid behind the screen, and then That's what happened!

The usually unsmiling prince would actually beg and kneel down to others?

"Huh!" Ji Xiu, like a thief caught by a thief, gave Shan Xuechen a hard look.

That look, apart from anger, was more shameful.

That look hurts.

Shan Xuechen forgot to speak, and then watched Ji Xiu strode away from here, the back was so tall, but also so lonely.Ji Xiu, what kind of person are you?

"Biao Gongzi," Gao Bing smiled, he, an outsider, had a panoramic view of the scene just now, and he didn't expect why Shan Xuechen would appear here. Ji Xiu was so ashamed this time, Gao Bing couldn't help laughing , "Is there something wrong, Mr. Biao?"

Shan Xuechen jumped up like a cat scalded by boiling water: "No, it's okay, I, I'm sorry."

"Alas—" Gao Bing stopped Shan Xuechen slowly and said, "Your cousin is fine, why would you hide behind the screen? Could it be that the palace is not spacious enough?"

Today's matter was discussed between him and Ji Xiu. After acting in this play, Ji Xiu was obviously acting as a buffoon, but Xiaobai never expected to see him desperately.

So rare!

Shan Xuechen blushed to the point of dripping blood.

"Today's official business has not been completed yet, please remember to call in advance before Mr. Biao comes next time."

"...Hey," Shan Xuechen fled in despair.

The dry and cold air approached Mr. Gao's face. Gao Bing looked out the window and saw that it was snowing.

This is probably the last snow this year.

The snowflakes outside the window are flying in the air, accumulating on the branches and eaves, slowly covering a city like sugar.

What would it look like if the snow melted?

The snow has melted, it will be spring.

back street

When Yang Yannian opened his eyes, he found that someone was watching him.

He stretched out his hand, but it was in vain.

It turned out to be delusional.

Before he had time to catch his breath, he heard a loud cry: "Nianer!"

Ma Ru never dreamed that he could see his eldest nephew again. Yang Yannian died disgracefully, and no one was willing to take care of him. Xia told him that Yang Yannian was not dead!

Could there be anything more pleasing than this?

"Uncle," Yang Yannian couldn't help regretting that he had forgotten about uncle, which made him so worried.

Ma chrome pulled Yang Yannian's face, making sure it wasn't a puppet doll, then smiled and said: "I don't know which hero saved you, it's really strange, I saw you go to the ground with my own eyes, how did you come back to life again. "

Yang Yannian could only smile awkwardly.

"That hero is also a good person. I haven't had time to ask more about the details... But, it's all right now. The most important thing is that you are safe and sound," Ma Chrome laughed with crow's feet in the corners of his eyes. "This hero is also strange. I saved you and said that there is a condition. I want to repay my benefactor without hesitation. I didn’t expect my benefactor to say that I want to get married. Do you think there is such a condition? Haha, you foolish boy, if you don’t say it, it’s useless daughter in law."

Yang Yannian was speechless.

He looked bitter and bitter, "Uncle, you won't agree."

"It goes without saying that the women in the family of chivalrous men must be well-educated and reasonable. Just now, I have already reached an agreement with that brother Guan. Brother Guan is also chivalrous. There is no need for dowry, and everything is kept simple!"

Yang Yannian once again understood that he was bullied by those people, and he was so angry that he hurt internally.

"Silly nephew! I understand that you have come here. The big cities are too dangerous. After you finish the wine in Jinyang, I won't be an official anymore. Let your aunt clean up. Let's go back to the countryside. I have been an official all these years. With some money, it is more than enough to be a country gentleman in the country."

"uncle!"

"This is called Zhien Tubao!"

"No! Listen to me! Uncle," Yang Yannian was so excited that he was almost sweating, "I can't marry him! He, he is a man!"

Ma Chromium was speechless.

"I've seen that person before. He was a man. Brother Guan was only joking when he said he wanted to marry me. Uncle, you don't have to take it seriously..."

As if falling from the clouds to the ground, Ma Chrome sighed and said, "This chivalrous man is really different from ordinary people."

Yang Yannian struggled to sit up from the bed, "Uncle, let's stop talking about that, I'm only so old, not to mention, I have found my own meaning here, and I feel that life is quite happy."

"Oh?"

"I am listening to and attending classes in a private school. There is a Mr. Shan in the private school. I learn to read and read from him. In my spare time, I teach children how to order beans and mulberry. Mr. Shan asked me to do these things."

"Mr. Shan?"

"Well, Mr. Shan is a very good man. He has gone to Jinyang Prince's Mansion and hasn't come back yet."

As soon as Jinyang Mansion was mentioned, Ma Chrome's face changed.Thinking of Ji Xiu, thinking about the cause and effect of all this, his complexion couldn't be worse, but he still said patiently: "You should stay away from Jinyang Palace."

Yang Yannian thought, isn't that chivalrous man also a member of King Jinyang?He didn't tell Ma Chrome either, so he said, "Uncle, why don't you go back first, I'm fine here, much better than in the barracks before, I can be happy every day, I plan to stay here for a long time. "

Ma Chrome glanced at him, unable to bear to discourage him.

Jinyang is really not a place where he can stay for a long time. He is just a small official, competing for interests, and undercurrents are surging. Who can guarantee his safety?Since the eldest nephew is not dead, that's great. He should pack up and prepare to resign and go back to the countryside. At that time, the eldest nephew will definitely go together no matter what!

When Ma Chrome went out, Guan Er had been waiting outside for a long time.

"Heroes."

"Master Ma."

Seeing him cupping his fists and bowing to each other, Ma Ge hurriedly returned the salute, "The hero is a lifesaver. I told my nephew about the marriage just now, but my nephew only wanted to study and didn't think about these things. You blamed me, hehe, so, what Brother Guan said just now may not come true."

Guan Er smiled indifferently, "The world is so big, there are so many wonders, it's a good thing that Brother Yang loves to study, then we won't force others to make things difficult for us, Master Ma, do you have any plans in the future?"

"To be honest, I'm afraid I won't have much time in Jinyang."

"Why?"

"Jinyang's forces are intertwined, and if you take a wrong step, you will be smashed to pieces. My nephew was framed, and I am afraid that I will be inseparable from it. I am sorry that I have worked hard for decades, but I still have hidden enemies. It is not appropriate to stay in a place of right and wrong. It's better to go back to the countryside, the bright moon shines among the pine trees, and the clear spring stone flows upwards," Ma Wei said, "At that time, the benefactor's great kindness, I can only thank my heart."

Guan Er said: "Then I would like to ask brother Ma for help."

"Let's talk."

"To tell you the truth, my master is also in Jinyang and wants to talk to Mr. Ma."

"Please!"

After flying over the eaves and walls for a while, Guan Er and Ma Wei landed in a courtyard, which was the famous family of Ju Ma Lane. Ji Xiu did not sell the courtyard, but used it as a resting place for the hidden guards in the city.

Ji Xiu has been waiting in the yard for a long time.

When Ma Chrome saw that the person was Ji Xiu, his first reaction was to kneel down and salute, but his second reaction made him stop. If this is the master that Brother Guan said, then what is the cause and effect? what relationship?Master Ma's head was spinning so fast that it hurt.

Never expected that the master in the hero's mouth would be Prince Jinyang.

"Lord Ma," Ji Xiu said bluntly.

"My lord, Wanfu Jin'an," Mr. Ma said abruptly, but I don't know how to say it.

Ji Xiu smiled lightly, looked at the little old man, and said, "Time is limited, so I won't speak official language to you."

"I killed your nephew, but I also saved it. Since I can bring him back from the dead, then there is a way to make him half-dead again!"

"..."

"Master Ma, don't be angry. Although I, Ji Xiu, am not an upright person, I will not harm others for no reason. I did this just to ask you for a favor."

This seems to be a threat. It is the first time that Ma Ke has been threatened by someone since he has been an official for more than ten years. What is more terrible is that this other person is not a gangster, but the Prince of Jinyang who is even better than a gangster!

"The prince issued an order, how dare I refuse to obey the order, if there is any need, just order the prince, the subordinate will definitely die and die! Why bother to think about it, it seems to be deceitful."

"Hey, what an old fritter," Ji Xiu smiled, "King Jinyang is the local emperor of Jinyang, but how many people do you think really listen to King Jinyang?" I have been in the officialdom for many years, so I don’t know about the disputes between the parties. Jinyang is really not the king of Jinyang. The officialdom is thick and dark, so they are naturally good at making peace.

"I want Jinyang to listen to me alone."

Ma Chrome burst out laughing, as if he had heard a funny joke.

"I know that no one believes me. From your point of view, I'm just a kid who was destined to take over the throne. I'm not worth mentioning at all, but I happen to be the prince of Jinyang. I can't be just the prince of Jinyang!" Ji Xiu said disgustedly.

"You are the prince of Jinyang, and Ma should have listened to the prince," Ma said, "Actually, the prince doesn't need to threaten me with my nephew. I am afraid that the ills of officialdom exist in every dynasty. Once the change is made, it may not be so simple. , The old school has deep roots and cannot be pulled out at once. The country has been poor and weak for a long time, and everyone is not a fool, but no one is willing to try, and the price is too high."

"I have worked for Rong and Chen for many years, and I am well versed in the ways and means of this. There are things I can do."

"So, if the lord has an idea in the future, just talk to the minister directly. The way to be a king is to focus on Mingde. In the future, please hope that you will not attack the people around the minister."

Ji Xiu didn't refute him, but only agreed: "Education is extremely good, and this king is also eager. I was afraid that Mr. Ma would not listen to me, so I made such a bad move. I will never do it in the future."

Ma Chrome knelt on the ground: "From now on, I will be of the same heart with the prince, if you have any requirements, just ask the prince."

"Master Ma, get up, you are still holding an important position in the old school on the surface. In order not to attract people's attention, I will not see you again. If there is news, I will let Guan Er pass it to you."

"Yes," Ma Chrome clasped his fists after he finished speaking, and left respectfully.

Guan Er saw that the man walked away, and said: "This man is also a sensible man, we don't need to do anything, at first we only need to talk to him in a modest manner, and there is no need to do anything to his nephew." Ran this matter.

Ji Xiu sneered, "You think I trust him completely?"

""If Yang Yannian hadn't been faked, I'm afraid he would be the first to go to Yingtai to receive the reward after he knew about it. "

"Politicians are the most cunning people in the world. Everyone wants to be a whore and also wants to set up a memorial archway. If the wall is blown by the wind, both sides will fall. If he hadn't given him such a trick at the beginning, he would have no idea of ​​the methods of Prince Jinyang. Those old men treat me like a decoration, and my decision has no weight at all."

"Since I can save people, I can also kill people. Equally respecting kindness and power, this is the way to be a king."

Guan Er always had a complicated expression on his face. He was older than Ji Xiu. This prince was intelligent, vicious, and unfathomable. It was hard to trust others.

This is not a good thing.

Politics is really the most complicated thing in the world.
